Public Living Wall Benefits
Reduce Urban Heat Island Effect Temperatures can be reduced by covering a wall with a layer of vegetation that shades building materials which would otherwise absorb heat. Evapotranspiration provides cooling effects, as water is evaporated from the growing medium and plants transpire by taking water in through roots and releasing it through leaves. Energy from the sun that would otherwise heat the green wall surface and increase ambient air temperatures is instead used in th
Private Living Wall Benefits
